PICNIC MACARONI SALAD
No more store bought, gloopy, overly sweet macaroni salad! This recipe is the perfect side for grilled chicken, burgers, and sandwiches. With a few pantry staples and a handful of fresh ingredients, this salad comes together quickly and simply and is my go-to recipe anytime I get a hankerin' for a starchy side.

Steps:
- Drain the macaroni.

- Chill, check the dressing and enjoy.

Steps:
- Cook macaroni.
- Drain and rinse well, and then chill.
- Combine rest of ingredients and mix well with macaroni.
- Season to taste.
- Note: I also have found that adding either packaged dry dill or ranch dressing really adds wonderful flavor, but has to be made early, so flavors meld.
- Just add the dry dressing to the mayonnaise.
